WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama bluntly told Republican congressional leaders Wednesday they must compromise quickly if the government is to avoid an unprecedented default, adding, "Don't call my bluff" by passing a short-term debt limit increase he has threatened to veto. The presidential warning, directed at House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., marked an acrimonious end to a two-hour negotiating session at the White House that produced no evident progress toward a compromise.

Call his bluff.

He's a weakling.

And, he doesn't have sufficient political support on the Congress to sustain any minor action he may take.

While the GOP is weak under public pressure, the dims are 10 x weaker.

We need articulate spokes folks in the public square advocating the message. The CORE of that message is that Obama is L Y I N G about Social Security, Medicare, Military Salaries AND Default.

All of those obligations will be paid or Obama will be IMPEACHED.

And, the Republicans in the House ought to publicly make that promise to the American People.

Obama’s got nothing the only way any Republican loses their office is to give in.

Or what?

You know, we are really, royally screwed with this guy and his minions in DC. The Potomac must be loaded with crack or something. I cannot believe a sitting POTUS would say such things as he has, let alone do what he’s doing.

He’s cornered.
Now, he’ll be dangerous.

Obama’s idea of “taking it to the people” seems to be threatening to withhold their Social Security checks, but NOT the foreign aid checks to Muslim countries. We’re in a mood to tell him to “bring it”.

Bluff call! Sure, he’s the one holding up granny’s SS check so go ahead, big boy, don’t send out the checks. I dare you! Maybe then the sheeple will wake up to what this administration is up to.

They did call his bluff. That's why he left in a huff.

The little whiny baby needs to grow up. This stomping of feet and taking his ball may have gotten him what he wanted when he was two but it's nothing short of disgusting to watch an adult pull little temper tantrums.

Time for Cantor and Boehner to double down. Just work up the proposal they can live with and pass it through the House. Let The Senate Dems take the blame if they don’t pass it. I would not waste another moment negotiating with little Barry. Its a waste of time.

He admits he’s bluffing, which means the Republicans won, which means it’s time for them to surrender.

Now don’t you peons worry you’re tiny brains with that debt stuff, I’m a Certified PRO-fessional politician yessireebob. Just don’t call my bluff. Oh yes there’s trouble, with a capital T that rhymes with D and that stands for Debt.

This self professed professor Hill, I mean constitutional professor really is a hoot.

What bothers me is that this cat is so stupid and dumb and the republicans are scared to death of him and they should be eating his lunch. That just about makes them dumber than Obama. Time to grow a spine.

Yep, Obama is going to use his trump card, Lindsay Graham. He is going to use his leverage using Graham, Collins, Snowe, and McCain and they are going to turn over. Just watch. The RINO’s are going to sell out the rest of us.
